The Holy Qur'an: Chapter 92: The Night (Layl)

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

92:1. By the Night as it conceals (the light);

92:2. By the Day as it appears in glory;

92:3. By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-

92:4. Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

92:5. So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God),

92:6. And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-

92:7. We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

92:8. But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,

92:9. And gives the lie to the best,-

92:0. We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

92:11. Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

92:12. Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

92:13. And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

92:14. Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

92:15. None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

92:16. Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

92:17. But those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it,-

92:18. Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

92:19. And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

92:20. But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

92:21. And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
